Description
Genesis Ventures is a venture capital and private equity firm headquartered in Pinecrest, Florida, USA, with additional operations in Miami, London, Santiago (Chile), and Lima (Peru). It focuses on early-stage, high-growth companies across multiple industries, providing capital and hands-on support for founders pursuing scale and global expansion.
Pre-Seed / Seed: Core focus on early-stage companies looking for foundational capital and operational support.
Series A / Growth: Participates in follow-on rounds as companies demonstrate traction and growth potential.
Typical Investment Size: Genesis Ventures deploys capital to early-stage companies, though specific check sizes are not publicly standardized by the firm’s public materials; investment participation has included multi-million dollar engagements such as involvement in a seed round contributing to an $11M raised by a portfolio company.
• No fixed equity percentage is publicly published that Genesis Ventures always takes for every investment. Like most early-stage VC firms, equity ownership is negotiated on a deal-by-deal basis with founders based on valuation, round size, and investment amount.
• Founder Expectation : In pre-seed and seed rounds with institutional investors, ownership positions typically result in meaningful minority stakes (~5%–20%) for significant capital participants, but actual equity for Genesis Ventures depends on each startup’s negotiation and valuation.
Equity Structure: Investments are generally structured via priced equity or convertible instruments (i.e., SAFEs/notes) according to the agreed terms for each round.
Submission Method: Founders can submit pitches and company materials via the Genesis Ventures online portal to be considered for investment; warm introductions through investor networks or ecosystem partners may improve engagement.
Investor Engagement: Term sheets and investment offers follow standard VC diligence once a startup passes initial screening.
